When Zhao Yan returned to Wanchen Courtyard, she sent all the maidservants away, and sat alone on the bed in the inner room, frowning and thinking.

Now, Qu Xiang and the crown princess have set their sights on her.

In other words, the prince's forces wanted to send her to the palace and use her to curry favor with Emperor Qianyuan, so as to stabilize the prince's status in the East Palace.

It is absolutely impossible for her to serve Emperor Qianyuan, the enemy who killed his mother.

She had to leave as soon as possible.

However, now that Jiang Qingrou is not dead, and her brother's legs and feet are not sharp, she is gone now, who will help her brother?

She leaned on the head of the bed, thinking about it, but there was no good way.

Before I knew it, it was getting dark outside.

In the back window, there was a slight noise.

Zhao Yan came back to her senses, she knew that it should be Zhou Yu who came.

She sat still.

"Sister-in-law."

Zhou Yu was at the window and called her softly.

Zhao Yan noticed that he didn't come in, so she got up and stepped on her embroidered shoes casually and walked to the back window.

Zhou Yu handed her a large food box.

Zhao Yan took it and put it on the ground, and said with a smile: "It's so heavy, the little prince came out, did you still bring your own rations?" ”

"I haven't seen you for a long time, I should have a few drinks." Zhou Yu jumped in from the window and reached out to hug her.

"You've been busy lately?" Zhao Yan let him hold him and asked in a low voice.

"Well, I'm busy with the affairs of the National Mansion." Zhou Yu kissed her on the forehead, and then let go of her.

He leaned over, lifted the food box with one hand, led Zhao Yan with the other, and walked to the table.

"Dingguo Mansion?" Zhao Yan raised her eyebrows slightly: "Is there going to be a catastrophe?" ”

Last time, Zhou Yu seemed to have mentioned it.

"Hmm." Zhou Yu nodded: "This matter is all handled by the East Palace, and I am just taking an errand to help verify it." ”

Zhao Yan bent her eyes and smiled, what Zhou Yu said was good, what the East Palace handled, it was clearly that he used the hand of the East Palace to cut off King Yong's arm.

How could King Yong rest?

It will inevitably fight back against the East Palace.

However, the Dingguo Mansion also deserves it, and she has never forgotten the past.

Luo Shimou wanted to arrest her several times, but Dingguo Gong did not stop her, and Dingguo Duchess was very supportive.

In addition, there is Princess Yong, who has played a great role in these things.

The Dingguo Mansion has done a lot of evil, and it should be destroyed, and she believes that she is definitely not the only one who is happy to hear the news.

"The fruit wine you love." Zhou Yu opened the food box, took the wine jug and put it in front of Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan picked up the wine jug, put it under the tip of her nose and sniffed: "It's so fragrant." ”

Zhou Yu glanced at her with a smile and took the food out of the food box the same.

Soon, there were seven or eight dishes on the table.

"Would you like to ask the kitchenette to add a few more dishes?" Zhou Yu asked her.

Zhao Yan shook her head, lifted her chopsticks, lowered her eyes and took a small piece of mutton, and put it in her mouth.

Zhou Yu looked at her and frowned slightly: "Auntie, why is your face not good?" ”

As he spoke, he reached out and brushed her little face.

She tried her best to force a smile, but he could see the tiredness between her brows.

"Something happened today." Zhao Yan was not hypocritical, so she said directly: "The crown princess invited me to Qu Xiang's mansion, saying that it was a 'tea banquet', but after I went, I was the only one."

I don't think it's right, but I don't see anything.

Later, after careful observation, I could see some clues. ”

"What?" Zhou Yu picked up the wine cup and took a sip.

"When I was drinking tea with the crown princess, someone peeked at me from behind the screen." Zhao Yan put down her chopsticks and leaned forward to look at him: "I suspect that it is Qu Xiang."

He must have wanted to make sure that I looked very much like my mother.

After confirmation, he should want to sacrifice me to Emperor Qianyuan. ”

When Zhou Yu heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and the fingers holding the wine cup were also tightened, and his bones turned white.

Zhao Yan didn't notice these details, and continued: "I originally wanted to leave early.

But I'm not at ease, Jiang Qingrou is still alive, if my brother comes back, he has a pure heart, and he must not be Jiang Qingrou's opponent. ”

"That's the crux of the matter." Zhou Yu put down the wine cup: "Qu Shouting has discovered that your appearance is similar to your mother's Xiao."

Although he wants to let you into the palace, he should not dare to offend you.

After all, after you enter the palace, you will be favored, and you can destroy him with your backhand.

They must want to find a safe way to hold you, and then ask you to enter the palace to do things for them, and hold your handle, so that they can feel at ease. ”

Zhao Yan is a one-point person, and after hearing his words, she immediately understood: "You mean, they want to take Fu Xuan and use it to threaten me?" ”

"What do you think?" Zhou Yu asked her: "If it were you, would it be like this?" ”

Zhao Yan thought about it and nodded: "This is indeed a good way." ”

The person she cares about the most in her heart is Fuxuan.

If Fuxuan falls into their hands, she will definitely obey.

She knows where her weakness lies.

"So, Fuxuan can't come back for the time being, and he can't show up." Zhou Yu said decisively and neatly: "These days, don't go to see Fuxuan."

I'll move him to a safe place, and when there's no longer a threat, you'll pick him up. ”

"The little prince is really wise, I haven't thought of a way to come up with a way all afternoon, and the little prince can solve it in a few words, and it's really amazing.

It's just that I'm going to bother you again this time. Zhao Yan raised the wine cup and looked at him with a smile in her apricot eyes.

In this way, Qu Xiang didn't dare to touch her.

After all, there is no vital point for her in his hands, if she is really forced to enter the palace, Qu Xiangfu and the East Palace will only be attacked in the future.

This is not the result they wanted.

Therefore, as long as Fu Xuan doesn't come out, Qu Xiangfu and the East Palace won't dare to touch her.

In this way, she has a lot of extra time.

"If you can't laugh, don't laugh." Zhou Yu pinched her little face, raised the wine cup and touched her, raised his head and drank it all, put down the wine cup and said, "I don't like you to call me 'Little Prince'." ”

It's been so long, and she hasn't gotten used to calling him "husband".

His heart was bitter and melancholy.

When Zhao Yan heard this, she couldn't help laughing, she put down the wine cup and leaned over, kissed Zhou Yu on the face, and called him in a soft tone: "Husband-"

I don't know why, Zhou Yu just took this bite.

I like people to call him "husband".

Zhou Yu's face was thin, and his heart was also hot, he reached out and hugged her into his arms, and lowered his head to kiss her.

"Wait a minute......" Zhao Yan's slender and soft hand covered his lips.

Zhou Yu held her hand, the tails of her eyes were red, her breath was hot, her eyes were full of longing, and her voice was a little hoarse: "I haven't seen you for so long, don't you miss me?" ”

"Yes." Zhao Yan hooked his neck and smiled deliciously: "However, I haven't eaten yet, and I still have something important to tell you."

You've been so busy lately, I'm afraid that when I wake up, you'll be gone again. ”

"You say." Zhou Yu took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the heat in his heart.

"I'd better go back to my seat." Zhao Yan struggled to get up from his arms, and her tone was meaningful: "This is good for both of us." ”

Zhou Yu let go of her according to his words.

Zhao Yan sat back in her seat, lifted her chopsticks and said, "These days, because of my father's affairs, my grandmother has always asked me.

I took this opportunity to ask carefully about the things in the palace that year. ”

"What happened back then?" The red at the end of Zhou Yu's eyes faded a little: "Is it a matter between Your Majesty and the emperor?" ”

"Yes." Zhao Yan chewed and swallowed the things in her mouth slowly, leaned forward, and lowered her voice as if she was muttering: "Your Majesty today, when you pretended to be an idle prince, you actually secretly gathered your own forces.

He took this throne. ”

When Zhou Yu heard this, his expression changed slightly, his brows furrowed, but he didn't speak.

"You should have thought about this a long time ago." Zhao Yan took another bite before continuing: "I couldn't understand before, the first emperor had sons and daughters, why he gave up the throne to his younger brother.

Now, it's finally confirmed. ”

Zhou Yu nodded: "Is there any news on the side?" ”

"It's not particularly important, what my grandmother said is the habits of some former emperors, as well as things with Concubine Li.

Others, as Mrs. Huai'an Hou at that time, that is, an ordinary wife, should not be worthy of knowing. Zhao Yan analyzed.

Zhou Yu nodded: "That's true." ”

"I had doubts before that you were the child of the former emperor." Zhao Yan pondered and said: "But you also said that the two sons of the former emperor are still alive and are raised in the palace."

Then I can't figure it out.

However, I think that if you have the chance, you should quietly go and see the two sons of the former emperor, and maybe you can find clues. ”

"Hmm." Zhou Yu thought about it, and then served her vegetables: "I'll find a chance to take a look."

You eat quickly. ”

Zhao Yan pursed her lips and laughed, knowing what he was urging her to do.
